The X5 diesel is rated at 28MPG highway in the U.S. Our EPA estimates are conservative in most cases so the X5 diesel should hit 30-31MPG highwar in real life, add 20% more for imperial gallon conversion.

To me, 26MPG seems realistic for imperial gallons. It really depends how you drive.
Anyone know which the BMW trip computer is using outside the US? Cyprus was under British control at one point, so maybe Imperial?

TrueDelta has a Gas Mileage Survey that includes more variables than most, and that performs a three-way unit conversion. Only response response for the X6 so far, and that one for the TT gas engine.
